Coral Bean

Erythrina herbacea, commonly known as coral bean, is a deciduous native shrub prized for its striking spikes of bright red tubular flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Its bold blooms, interesting thorny stems, and attractive seed pods make it a unique addition to native gardens, pollinator landscapes, and naturalized areas.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead growth and maintain shape
• Fertilizer: Fertilizer is rarely needed; if desired, apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring
